As The World Turns: Where Are They Now?

It’s been four months to the day since As The World Turns was cancelled. Soaps.com has been receiving emails asking what has happened to their favorite cast members, so we decided to do a little sleuthing and learned what most of the cast is up to. Some of the films they’re in, we’ve learned, are still in post-production, so keep an eye out for those either this or next year!

Martha Byrne (ex-Lily) wrote a newer series along with Lisa Brown (ex-Nola, GL). Martha’s the executive producer and also acts in Gotham Series, which is on hiatus at the moment. Currently, the actress is in Amsterdam and told Soaps.com that she was hoping the series would make a return. Already, we’re in love with her character Catherine Prescott, so our fingers are crossed.

Daniel Cosgrove (Chris) is pulling double duty, playing ‘Scott Chandler’ on All My Children and ‘Larry Trout’ in "SteamBoat Series," which we’ll get into more, further down.

Ewa Da Cruz (Vienna) plays ‘Lucia’ in "Dogs Lie," which is in post-production.

Eileen Fulton (Lisa) is playing ‘Katherine Wise’ in "The Life Zone," which is filming now.

Meredith Hagner (Liberty) was ‘Alexia’ in "Art Machine," that comes out in 2011. It’s in post-production. She’s also filming "Damsels in Distress," as ‘Alice’, and has debuted in a new boxing series, "Lights Out," as ‘Ava’.

Van Hansis (Luke) is playing ‘Danny’, in the thriller, "The Occupant," which doesn’t have an airdate, so far.

Mick Hazen (Parker) is ‘Zeff’, in "Going The Distance," which was out September 3 2010. He acted alongside Drew Barrymore, Christina Applegate, and Justin Long. We always knew this younger actor was going places.

Billy Magnussen (ex-Casey) is playing ‘Thor’ in "Damsels In Distress," which is filming now. He was also in an episode of "NCIS: Los Angeles" last year as ‘Cpl Allen Reed’.

Michael O’Leary (ex-Rick) has been busy with writing and acting in his webseries, "Steamboat The Series," along with other ATWT alum, Scott Bryce (ex-Craig), who is directing, actors Michael Park (ex-Jack) and Daniel Cosgrove (ex-Chris), and a few Guiding Light Alumni such as Beth Chamberlain (ex-Beth), Kurt McKinney (ex-Matt), Kim Zimmer (ex-Reva), Justin Deas (ex-Buzz), and Orlagh Cassidy (ex- Doris). We post these humorous videos of Steamboat The Series on Soaps.com’s Latest News Section, but you can also find them at Steamboat Series Official Website.
